Brawl Update
By Kitty · Official · 06/2021Back to releases
On June 17th, a Stormbound update will be released to revamp the Brawl system. It’s not a complete overhaul, but it should make the Brawl mode more inclusive and open it to more people!
While I have your attention, please remember the pandemic is not over, even if you have been vaccinated. You can still carry the disease and make people sick.
So wear a mask and avoid unnecessary travels—especially if you live in an area with rampant COVID-19 cases. It takes everyone’s effort to slow down this pandemic. Do the right thing. 🙏
The purpose of remaking the known Brawl mode is to give players the opportunity to participate in it at any time during their Stormbound progression. This creative game mode should appeal to both advanced players and people just starting their adventure with Stormbound.
Up until now, the Brawl mode has very much been intended as end-game content for players with very advanced collections. Others had nothing to look for in this mode, because the advantage of one over the other excluded the possibility of any fair competition.
The Brawl calculator, Brawl tracker, income calculator and Brawl guide all have been updated to handle the new Brawl updates.
Three difficulties
From now on, there will be 3 running Brawl events per week, of three different difficulties: Casual, Warrior and Ultimate. The current Brawl version is the new Ultimate one, so there will be two new difficulty levels under the current one.
Additionally, every match will have a Fortress Level cap, a card level cap and a limited number of turns, which can therefore result in a draw. This is intended to make matches more fair by eliminating a lot of the differences in base health and cards between players.
The crossed diamonds in the joint screenshot are further explained in the Crowns & milestones section.

Crowns & milestones
Victories will still yield 5 crowns and losses will still yield 1 crowns. However, due to the fact that matches are limited in length, draws can happen and will reward 2 crowns to each player. A draw occurs when both players have the same amount of health by the end of the last turn.
To avoid making the Brawl too easy for lower tiers and difficulty levels, every milestone needs to be reached without losing more than 2 times. After 3 losses across a given milestone, the crowns will be reset to the previously reached milestone. For instance, if losing 3 times between 50 crowns and 70 crowns, the crowns will be reset to 50 crowns.
We will be keeping a very close eye on this system as the goal is not to make Brawl frustrating. Additionally, we are looking for ways to make losses redeemable in the near future so it’s a little more fluctuating than just 3 losses per milestone.
If missing 1 crowns to reach a given milestone while having lost twice already, losing a 3rd game will not reset the crowns to the previous milestone. Instead, the last crown awarded by the loss will be enough to reach the next milestone.
